In 2016, the rules were changed for defense ammunition in .380 and .38 Special by introducing a new concept: non-expanding pistol bullets with hard cutting edges and deep flutes that outperform the best defensive hollow point ammunition. These new bullets, developed in concert with Lehigh Defense, literally and efficiently cut through barriers that plug conventional hollowpoints, while creating larger, deeper wound paths. This year, we’ve added three more loads. These are the HoneyBadger™ 9mm 125-grain and .45 ACP 135-grain for the ultimate in self-defense, plus the HoneyBadger™ .44 Magnum 160-grain for hunting against four-legged predators.

When Hornady discovered ways to make excellent bullets better, we wanted to utilize that technology. Using ELD-M® (Extreme Low Drag-Match) and ELD-X® (Extreme Low Drag—eXpanding) bullets, we upgraded our Gold rifle lineup with the highest BC bullets available. The result is more effective shooting, longer range and the loving care you’ve come to expect from Black Hills. From .260 Remington to .338 Lapua, you have myriad choices with increased performance.

HEIZER DEFENSE PKO-45 PISTOL

Heizer’s PKO-45 pistol is the world’s thinnest 45ACP semi-automatic on the market at only .8” wide, making it smaller than most compact 9mm handguns. Made from 100% aerospace-grade stainless steel weighing in at 25 ounces. Designed from the ground up for concealed carry/home defense. Its revolutionary fixed barrel under guide rod configuration lowers the bore axis, which minimizes muzzle rise. You have a tiny 45 that shoots like a full size 1911. Two added benefits of the fixed barrel are accuracy and reliability. Will ship with 2 mags, a 5+1 flush and 7+1 extended. Ships with HIVIZ Litewave sights (standard) and comes in Tactical Black, Ghost Grey, Copperhead and Champaign Chrome.

The ELCAN Specter DR 1-4x and 1.5-6x dual role weapon sights are dual-field-of-view combat optics that provide both close quarter and precision fire capability in a single optic. Whether utilizing the red dot in 1x or 1.5x mode or the ranging reticle in the 4x or 6x mode, the Specter DR dual role combat optics provide ultra-wide viewing angles for optimal situational awareness and unmatched low-light performance. Utilizing a side-mounted “throw lever” the Specter DR 1-4x and 1.5-6x sights quickly and easily change the field of view to fit the warfighters’ operational needs. The Specter DR 1-4x and 1.5-6x DFOV sights are also equipped with an illuminated reticle that, when paired with their superior light gathering capability, makes them extremely effective in low-light conditions. The illuminated reticles, along with the red aiming dots, are controlled by a new and improved low profile illumination switch that not only reduces the overall width of the sight, but also its overall weight while increasing battery life by 50%.
